Well what outcome do you think big oil wants;
A) Their buddies (GOP) remain in control for two more years so that environmental regulations remain lax, so that the Alaskan wilderness might finally be opened to drilling, so that the profit pipeline keeps flowing at an all time high, so that emphasis on alternate forms of energy is minimized.
or
B) The democrats gain control of the house and/ or senate making it harder to do the above.
There's your answer.

Many people do, but traditionally the gas prices do drop after the summer driving season. It just so happens they dropped so dramatically due to the shortages not materializing. I do think the chatter about boycotts, and consumer action may have gotten the oil execs nervous. I also thing that the general population is not that duped to give the GOP that much credit for the price reduction. If it is not Bush's fault that they spiked, it is not Bush's accomplishment that they are dropping.

That's pretty hilarious. I thought Bush was an idiot, according to the other moonbat posts in this forum.
Go take a class in economics and tell the rest of us why the price is going down. Because we're educated, we'll tell you if you're right or not.

That would be a real good bet that bush called off his dogs in the oil industry. He needs all the help he can get to keep the oligarchy alive.

Since Bush/Cheney took power, gas prices have more than doubled, and now you are saying they are down, even though they are at over twice as high as Clinton/Gore gas prices.
Suckers!

Bush has NO relationship with the oil industry, influence over the supply pumped from Saudi Arabia, or control over how much oil is in the strategic reserve. You're just a liberal Democrat conspiracy monger.

If that were so, then every single other nation in the world would be happy about it too. Oil prices are made on the world market. Our government has no effect either way on them.
